SOLEIVI QUIS DICLRZ VALS'JM AUDLAT L 0 N D 0 N, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1808. Mr. SHAWE, the Messenger, arrived yesterday at Deal from Boulogne.• He was, we understand, ac companied by a French Officer, who was the bearer of another Letter from the. French Minister for Fo reign Affairs. BuOZZAPARTE left Ratubouillet or. the evening of the 30th. It was the general opi nion that he was gone to Bayonne, but he had given no publit intimation of his intention of setting out, or of the place of his destination. It appears that he did not think it necessary to wait for the Answer from the British Government, fur Mr. SHAWE could not possibly have reached Paris before the 31st ult. The unforttinate Spaniards who have been dis armed by the French in Jutland, are treated with the greatest degree of inhumanity and degradation. Who is there that will not feel the , most poignant grief for the sufferings of these unfOrtunate men, on reading the following trait of magnani3lity displayed by a Spanish Officer, on ending that he could not escApe, as his more fortunate Countrymen had done, from the fangs of the detestable barbarians. This Officer commanded a detachment of 300 men, at Horens, in Jutland, vas' on .its march to join their countrymen, :conformable with the plan so admirably concerted between Admiral KEATS 1q;LI the Marquis Dc •ROMANA. Hav i missed the road, the detachment was sur rounded by a party of French, so much supe rior in numbers, as to leave no hope what evt;r, from any effort it could make, of carrying the desired ohied into execution. The Officer, perfectly aware of the'sJvage inhumanity of the French, and that it was likely Sc be exercised soaringly on his party, halted his detachment, walked up to the Officer oimmanding the French, and declared that his loyalty to his Sovereign, and love fur his country, had induced him to take the step he was on the point of accomplishing; that he lamented having now lost ev: , - y hope of being useful to his country in her present distress ; assured him that his unfortunwe companions were perfe6tly ignorant of hla plan, and therefore innocent; and hoped the word of a dying man might be ttiken,, and would 11,filler)C0 his conduEt towards them when their had as they soon must do, into his hands.—Hav ing bald this, he drew his pistol from his belt and himself through the head. May his gal lant Countrymen amply avenge the fate of this 'brave and noble-minded Spaniard ! It was thi small parly that Admiral KLATs, in his public dis patches, entertained hopes of effeairig tieir escape from Jutland. Letters have been received from Holland, which contain the following summary of the Message of ETJONAPARTE to the Legislative Body. We are in- 1805. dined, however, to believe that it is not etogether correia, and that it will be found that the sta!emesnr which we yesterday laid before our Readers was nearer the fact Extract of the Message of his Imperial Majesty to the Legis• lative Body, on the zsth Oaober " Russia and Denmark - are united with me against England.

" I set oif in a few days to pit myself at the head of my army, and, with the help of God, to crown in Madrid the King of Spain, and to plant my eagles on the forts of Lisbon. " I cannot do other than congratulate myself on the sentiments of the Princes of the Confederation of the Rhine. Switzerland feels more and more daily the benefits of the A& of Mediation. " The people of Itily give we only new subjects of iatis fa alc n. " The Emperor of Russia and myself . have had an interview at Erfurth. Our first thought has been a thought of PeJce. We hive even resolved to make tiome sacrifices to obtain the seoner, if it he 0.1 , 41 - 4 ) for the hundred millions of men whom we repre sent, the blessings of a maritime Peace. We are of the same mind, and invariably united both for Pc3:e and War." As the Tribunal has been formed, and is soon to be opened, to which an Investigation of the Con vention of Cintra„ and all the circum,tances cop neeied with it, is to be entrusted, we did indulge a hope that the Opposition Writers would have paid such a compliment to the - liberality of their country men as to suspend their attacks upon the individuals who were concerned in that Convention,' and to leave them to the wisdom and justice of a Court which cannot pce,sibly be suspeeieet of aiihrz, other wise than upon the purest principles of honour.-- , But though Party zeal may perhaps be inclisted to pause while matters are in so fair a train to ascertain truth, to award justice, and to satisfy the Nation, it is in vain, we find, to expect any cessation' in the assaults of private enmity. It appears that the Duke of RICHMOND has announced a grand military din ner, in honour of Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY'S return, at the Vice-regal Lodge, in Phcenix Park, and this circumstance has occasioned a renewal of all that abuse which has been so copiously poured upon Sir A. WELLESLEY and his family. But private enmity, for it is impossible to suppose that this abuse re sults from aoy public feelings, whico always take a more dignifiet: course, has, on this occasion exceeded all bounds, for it not only revives all its prejudication of Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY, but aCtualiy impeaches the integrity and honour of the Court to which hia condud is to he submitted. The Public are told that, " first the reception of Sir ARTHUR at the Royal Court of St. James's, and now at the Vice-regal Court of Dublin, are sure prog nostics of what is intended, as far as relates to hit? 1, to be the result of the approaching Court of Inquiry." We question. whether there was ever a more daring attack upon the chara&eis of men chosen to form i a Judicial Court; and the attack is the more criminal on the present occasion, because the Mem bets who are to form the impending Court of Inquiry have been so impartially selected, that nothing like a principle of exclusion, on account of political sentiments, can possibly be alledgecr against Government. But this is not all, for the " military charadters" who have been invited to the Duke of RICHMOND'S dinner, are also the objed of defamation in the quarter alluded to, because they have not declined to - meet an Oiiicer high iu the estimation of his country, beloved by his profes sional brethren, and who, as the writer himself acknfmledges, may be wholly blameless. It is a liberal principle in British 'Jurisprudence, to pre some innocence till guilt has been demonstrated, and when a man's whole life, as is the case .with Sir A. WELLESLEY, has been ,a series of honourable ac tions, this principle ought to operate with unusual force upon all questions in which he may be concern ed. But the Court of Inquiry, has not only been slan dered by implication, in the insinuation that the reception of Sir AR'IMUII. at St. James's and at the Vice-regal Lodge, are " sure prognostics of what is intended as to what relates to him," but the Opposition Writer even intimates that Sir ARTHUR will he enabled, by " the power of friends and the subserviency of dependents, to pass over the necks of two unbefriended men, at whose expense he is at all events to, be preserved." We defy human ingenuity to devise a more malignant attack upon the CharaBers of men who have been seleeled, on account of their honour and ability, for the awful adjudication of national justice. We need only refer all parties, whatever their political opinions may he; to the Members of the Court in question, and leave them to determine •whether it is likely that the re ception of Sir ARTHUR at St. James's and at the Vice-regal Court, is likely to bias their minds or Wye the smallest operation upon the judgment , ERFURTH AND ALTO if PzIPERS, which they will pronounce in the race of all man • Is it possible that the " power of friends, and the subserviency of dependents," will have any weight with such men ? Nothing can exceed the impudence of such an insinuation but its absur dity !---As to Sir ARTHUR, we know that his frie,ncls have been particularly cautious in their condiad, and have declined every interposition in the affairs • of the Convention, public and private, relying upon his wisdom and honour, and satisfied that he and , the Nation will have ample justice. But Sit H BURRARD and- Sir HEW DALRYMPI,E, " the two unbefriended men," as they are called, are not less likely to have their condua fairly appreciated; acid instead of being unbefriended, they will be surof • as fair an investigation as Sir ARTHUR. With all our respea for Sir ARTHUR, and confidence in the propriety of his condu&, we have never at tempted to repel the shafts of malice aimed against him _at the expnce of those Officers. We have, .on the contrary, seen with equal indignation the attacks that have been made upon them, and have been as anxious to, rescue their charaders from party rancour and anonymous defamation. To conclude, we doubt not that the public will read. with indigna tion the article to which we allude, and patiently abide the judgment of a tribunal, whose decision, must he founded upon due investigation and rigid impartiality.
